Chinese singer-songwriter Liu Shuang was on a journey to Beijing when he received a message,     1     (say) that his song Mohe Ballroom had gone viral (走红). However, he didn’t take it     2     (serious) until he learned that footage of the song had been viewed more than 10 million times.

The song     3     (inspire) by Liu’s trip in 2019 to Mohe, Heilongjiang province,     4     he met an elderly man dancing alone in a ballroom.“I was curious and danced with him. We talked for     5     while during a break when I learned about his story,” said Liu, who later wrote an article     6     (title) Goodbye Evening Star, and posted it online.

The elderly man lost his wife and he has not remarried, so he often visited the old ballroom ad danced alone     7     (remember) the times he and his wife spent there.

Millions of people have been touched by the song and the story behind it.     8     (video) featuring elderly men dancing alone have appeared on social media platforms. The song’s huge     9     (popular)has also made Mohe an in-demand tourism destination. Visitors flood to the city to see the ballroom, in the hope     10     meeting the elderly man. Moreover,local residents have become curious about the ballroom,which they had never noticed before.

One day, about ten years ago, while     1     (work) at the cash register (收银台) in the gift shop at my University Museum of Natural History, I saw an elderly couple come in     2     a little girl in a wheelchair. As I looked closer at this girl, I found that she     3       (fix) on her chair. I then realized she had no arms or legs, just a head, a neck and upper body,     4     (dress) in a little white skirt. When I took the money from her grandparents, I looked back at the girl, who was giving me the most optimistic, and     5     (large) smile I had ever seen. All of a sudden, her handicap was     6     (go) and all I saw was this beautiful girl, whose smile just melted me and     7     (instant) gave me a completely new sense of     8     life was all about. She took me from a poor, unhappy college student and brought me into her world: a world of smiles, love and     9     (warm).

I’m a successful businessman now and whenever I think about the troubles of the world, I think about that little girl and     10     remarkable lesson about life that she taught me.

Buying new clothes and mobile phones will certainly bring you happiness, while it can only improve your happiness in a very short period of time. Why not try something new to improve your sense of     1     (achieve) and improve your life for a long time? Running may be a good choice for you.

Take me for example, I have never been very     2     (interest) in running. After a recent physical examination, I found that I was suffering from fatty liver due to lack of exercise.     3     was only then that I realized that I really needed to start running. One day after work, I decided     4     (run) a long way. Although my leg was hurt on the road and it was very painful, I found something satisfying, which other methods of entertainment could not give     5     me. I was full of confidence. For the next few days, I continued to run in this way. By     6     (exercise) every day, my heart and lung function has been     7     (great) improved, and my fatty liver has recovered. Last week I ran my first half of the marathon, in     8     I competed with about 100 young athletes, and I successfully     9     (cross) the finish line with great determination.

It took me a long time to realize that something as simple as running 30 minutes a day can positively improve your life. You will become     10     (strong) and healthier. You will force yourself harder than you think, and it will make you more efficient at work.

Jo worked at a bush school whose classrooms    1    (make) of bamboo and the roofs of grass.

There’s no electricity or water there.     2    took the students about two hours to get to the schoo1. It’s very difficult for newcomers to adapt to the    3    (1ive) conditions. Jo hoped    4     (make) some difference to the children’s lives by teaching them. The other day, Jo visited Tombe’s home with another teacher. When they arrived at the village, Tombe’s mother    5    had been working in her garden,     6    (start) crying “ieee ieee”. Tombe’s father led them to his house, a low bamboo hut with grass    7    (stick) out of the roof, where he could only see one broom, a few tin plates and cups and a couple of jars.     8    they ate were sweet potatoes, corn and greens. That night Jo and Jenny slept on a    9    (new) made platform. They left the village the next morning after many goodbyes and firm    10    (handshake). It was such a privilege to have spent a day with Tombe’s family．

Jason was nervous on his first day of school. He climbed onto a third-floor balcony (阳台)     1     put legs over the side. His teachers tried their best to bring him down, but failed. However,     2     firefighter who was dressed as “Spiderman” succeeded in     3    (save) him.

Firefighter David Smith was called in after the boy’s teachers had failed     4     (get) him down from the balcony. “He was asking     5     his mother,” Smith said. “He was crying, and wouldn’t let any of us get near him.” After he heard a conversation between the boy’s mother and his teachers about his love of superheroes, Smith hurried home to get     6    (he) Spiderman clothes.

“I told him Spiderman was there to save him. No one would hurt him,” Smith said. “Then I told him to walk slowly toward me.

During my recent travels in China, I went from the top to the bottom of the country. I was astonished at     1    different the weather was in different cities.

The weather was    2     (extreme) cold in Harbin, but felt much warmer in Shanghai, Guilin, Qingdao and Yangshuo. Each city has a different feel and allows you    3     (experience) different things.

In Qingdao, we ate seafood,     4     (drink) beer and swam in the sea. In Harbin, we wore our warmest jackets and saw the    5     (amaze) ice and snow sculptures. Shanghai reminded me    6    a city in Europe or America. There were lots of Western cafes there. Guilin was a good place to be touring around during the Spring Festival. Fireworks filled the sky and the streets were filled with happy people.

But Yangshuo    7     (be) my favorite city of all. I could not stop taking    8     (photo) of the beautiful mountains and the Li River. I rode a bicycle along the Yulong River in the warm sun and I ate strawberries and drank tea    9    came from farms in the mountains.

Now, Back in Beijing, I am looking forward to the next trip. I suppose I    10     (go) to another warm place next time.

My husband and I were paying a visit    1    my parents in Tucson. We went to a fast﹣food restaurant for dinner together.My husband went to the counter    2    (order) dishes and I stood with my parents.

My dad is 90years old. He can hardly see very well and walks with a stick. I was scanning the restaurant,    3    (wait) to sit at the first table that was    4    (convenient) than others.A woman who was sitting with her son made eye contact with me and asked me to come to her. With a    5    (puzzle) look on my face, I pointed to myself and said, "Me?" She    6    (nod) and said, "Yes,you." I walked to the table and she said," Bring your family here. I can finish eating at the counter. My son is in    7    hurry to leave anyway." My eyes    8    (fill) with tears as she wiped down the table and guided my dad to the seat.

I always believe that there are    9    (nature) kind people in this world.This woman has set a good example to her son,    10    is a really lucky guy.
